Spoke to Bob today, all the rough cuts have been made and assembly should begin next week. He's expecting it to ship out on or about the 15th
.... and of course a chat with Bob is always an opportunity to tack on additional options. Today was no different as I'd managed to convince myself both that the Set & Forget was a much better option than using my existing Cigar Oasis XL Plus and according to many of the threads apparently full extension shelves are much easier to use.
Final config: Mini Tall in light red mahagony w/ beveled glass door, 2 full extension drawers, 2 full extension shelves and the Set & Forget.
